This was my first full Marathon (October 30th, 2016). At the time of registration, my intention was to do 1 full marathon and be done, but I've never experienced any race like this, so I registered the next two years, and I am waiting to enter the lottery for the 4th time, this March 2019. The spectators, the atmosphere and running through DC and Virginia and all the historical monuments, not to mention the support from the Marines... AMAZING. A definite addition to anyone's bucket list.
